399-T*2 - Vending machine disclosure.

 
    * § 399-t. Vending machine disclosure. 1. Definitions. For purposes of
  this  article,  "vending machine" shall mean and include a coin operated
  machine used to sell merchandise and/or services but shall not include a
  coin operated telephone.
    2. Notice requirements relating to  vending  machines.  Every  vending
  machine  available  for  use  by  the  public in this state shall have a
  notice prominently affixed thereto which indicates  the  name,  address,
  and telephone number of the owner and/or operator of such machine or the
  name,  address  and telephone number of an individual designated by such
  owner/operator to maintain said machine. Said notice provisions of  this
  section shall not apply in instances where a vending machine is attended
  by a person capable of administering a refund.
    3.   Any  individual,  firm,  partnership,  corporation,  association,
  company or organization which owns or leases such  vending  machine  and
  knowingly fails to comply with the requirements of this section shall be
  assessed  a  civil  penalty  not  to  exceed fifty dollars for the first
  violation, one hundred dollars for a second violation  and  two  hundred
  fifty  dollars  for  any  subsequent  violation  provided, however, that
  multiple  violations  of  subdivision  two   of   this   section   which
  concurrently  occur  within  the  same  public  area  designated for the
  operation of vending machines shall, for purposes of assessing a penalty
  under this subdivision,  constitute  a  single  violation  against  such
  individual,  firm,  partnership,  corporation,  association, company, or
  organization which owns and/or  leases  such  machines.  Each  day  such
  offense shall continue shall constitute a separate additional violation.
  It shall be a defense to the imposition of any such civil penalty if the
  owner  or  operator posted a notice as required by this section and such
  notice was removed or defaced by vandals, provided the owner or operator
  subsequently complies with the requirements of this section.
    4. This section shall not annul, alter, affect or exempt  any  person,
  firm,  partnership,  corporation,  association,  company or organization
  subject to the provisions of this section from complying with the  laws,
  ordinances,  rules  or  regulations  of  any  locality,  relating to the
  posting of vending machine notices, except  to  the  extent  that  these
  laws,  ordinances,  rules  or  regulations  are  inconsistent  with  any
  provision of this section, but no such local  law,  ordinance,  rule  or
  regulation  shall  be  considered  inconsistent,  if  it affords greater
  protection to the consumer.
